Product Reviews of Underworks Posture Perfect Band
Product Review: It helps, but not great for smaller women
Summary: 3 Stars
to remind you to pull your shoulders back. It just keeps riding up in the back. It's not designed for a small sized female (4-6). No matter how tight I set it, eventually it rides up my back. If it came in a smaller size, it would be betterProduct Review: It really does help!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a 22 yr-old male who tends to hunch over when standing or sitting. I wanted to correct this problem for my appearence and long-term health. I thought a posture strap may help. Of the many types I saw on the internet, I chose this version because it appeared the simplest/least aggressive, and it happened to be the cheapest.
This is definitely a great product. You put it on as shown in the picture. The elastic band applies moderate tension that tugs your shoulders back into proper position. It tugs, not forces. Thus it's "reminding" you to keep your shoulders back and you're doing most of the work, which will help build the necessary muscles and habits to keep good posture even after taking it off. You'll still have plenty of mobility in your shoulders to reach for things or do any other motions that require moving your shoulders forward briefly.
As for drawbacks, yes the underarm strap will hurt if you wear it directly on your skin. But if you wear it over your clothes, or wear an undershirt if you want to wear the strap in public, it will be comfortable. Perhaps that's why the more expensive straps wrap around your stomach... so that an underarm band isn't needed. I think this will help correct my posture long-term and I'm very pleased with it.
Product Review: Kinda Sorta
Summary: 3 Stars
I've definitely become aware of when I don't have my shoulders properly pulled back. But is it supposed to do more than that? I don't know if it's really working or not.
I don't feel bad for the money I paid for it though, and that's always a plus.

This product is not tight enough to force you to stand up straight. It's just an added hassel. And the other reviews were correct; it hurts your armpits.Product Review: Not Bad But Could Be Better
Summary: 3 Stars
This arrived very quickly which was good. However, even though it does pull my shoulders back a little, I was hoping it would pull them back more. I do use it as it does make me more aware of my posture. It is certainly better than the other Underworks product that I ordered at the same time and which was three times the price (New Posture Corrector back Support Brace)
